Photographer and Filmmaker in Paris: A Practical Guide to Capturing Your French Moments
Imagine wandering through Paris, camera in hand, and having a professional by your side to help turn your memories into lasting images. For just $59 per person and a quick 30-minute session, you can get personalized portrait and video shots from an experienced filmmaker and photographer, Vishwajeet Devrukhkar. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or want to mark a special event, this experience offers a quick yet meaningful opportunity to take home quality visuals of your time in the City of Light.
What we love about this experience is how it combines authentic Parisian backdrops with the expertise of someone who’s deeply rooted in film making and commercial photography. Vishwajeet’s background means you’ll get professionally edited photos and videos that capture your trip with a cinematic touch. Plus, the small group size—limited to just four participants—ensures a more personalized, less hurried session, making sure you get the attention you deserve.
One possible consideration is that the duration is only half an hour—which is perfect for quick shots but might feel rushed if you’re after a more extensive photoshoot or a detailed session. Also, note that props, tickets, or touring are not included, so plan to bring your own accessories or incorporate the surroundings.
This tour suits travelers who value professional quality visuals without a long commitment, and those who want to maximize their limited time in Paris. It’s especially ideal if you’re looking for a fun, flexible way to document your trip or celebrate a special occasion with high-quality images.

What to Expect and How It Works
The experience starts with a pickup in Paris, where Vishwajeet will meet you at a designated location.
